How to solve 8x = 4? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.

We have 8x = 4

Divide both sides by 8, which is the coefficent of x

Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c

8x/8 = 4/8

x = 4/8

To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 4, which is the GCF of 4 and 8:

x = 1/2 or, x = 0.5
